Return Their Tickets Of Admission 10
the Jubilee Services.

LONDON, June 2O-The city is already
showing signs of being crowded in antici-
patton of to. morrow.
The throngs in the streets are more
numerous than at any time within the
recollection of the present generation. In
some parts of the town the crush of sight
seers impedes the traffic in the streets.
The Queen this morning drove from the
castle at Windsor to the railway station
and came to London on 4 special train.
She drove from the station here to Buck
ingham Palace. Crowds of people lined
the entire routein town and displayed the
greatest enthusiasm. Her Majesty ap-
peared delighted at the loyalty exhibited,
and bowed and smiled in every direction.
The decorations with banners, mottoes
and flags are increasing enormously, and,
when done, promise to eclipse anything of
the kind ever before attempted in England.
The weather is beautiful, the SUI shining
brightly.
A stranger in London to-day would i'm
agine that the whole of its population were
out on holiday. The crush is simply ter
rifle, and one can hardly conceive what it
will be tomorrow. Many visitors from the
Provinces were
UNABLE TO OBTAIN LODGINGS
last night, and accommodated themselves
i'll the streets as best they might They
presented sorry appearance this morn
ing, and many are starting hOmeward
again. They do not want TO live out of
doors another twenty-four hours on the
doubtful chance of seeing the royal per
sonages ride by. No one can tell what
the Queen will decide to do tomorrow.
She has changed her mind half dozen
times in as many days, and the
court officials are at their wits
ends. Of course the final decision will be
given during the day, but there are many
details that ought to have a weeks
time for their perfection that have been
hanging unsettled until the last moment
There are sure to be .many bitches, but
there is not believed to be any danger of
dynamite Outrages. The companiOnship
of the Princess of Wales is believed TO be
sufficient to protect the Queen from per
sonal insult, even if such were possible.
The Princess is one of the royalties really
beloved by the people. She is perhaps the
only one of the eighteen or twenty poten
tates of small and great degree taking part
in the show for whom there is any kindli-
ness of feeling whatever.
Three hundred peers and other promi-
m nj hal 70 ha Tath
Olic Church have returned the tickets en-
titling them TO seats in Westminster Abbey
tomorrow during the jubilee service.
POLICE SEARCH THE ABBEY.
The police to-day, acting under the su-
pervisiOn Of Col. Majendie, Chief Inspector
of Explosives and other exports, made a
thorough search OF Westminster Abbey ~
aprccaution against dynamite outrages to-
morrow. Every vault, corner and point
in the editice where it is possible to hide
anything was inspected and overhauled,
especially powerful lamps being used in the
examination of the darker places Nothing
was found.
When the examination was finished the
Abbey was turned over to the police for
protection, and is now guarded and occu-
pied by them. Every civilian is excluded,
even the workmen who have been employ
ed in making the temporary alterations for
tO-morrow's event. Two persons attempt
ed to enter the Abbey, but were prevented
by the police.
An illuminated address TO the Queen
from British subjects resident in Boston,
Mass, was formally delivered TO Her Ma
jesty this afternoon. The address is en-
closed in an oak case aud the presentation
took place at Buckingham Palace.
THE PRESIDENTS CONGRATULATIONS.
The Queen this evening received Mr..
Phelps, United States Minister, at Buck
ingham Palace for the purpose Of allowing
him to present President Cleveland's jubi-
lee congratulations. Mr.. Phelps was nc
corded private audience with Her Ma
jesty.
Mr.. Phelps was attred in plain evening
dress. The Queens demeanor towards him
was most cordial. She expressed the
warmeSt thanks for the Presidents con-
gTatulatiOns.
The private reception Of diplomats on
sutH occasions is almost unprecedented,
but the American Minister had expressed
desire through Lord Salisbury for such
an audience, and the Queen replied it
would afford her much pleasure 10 receive
him privately for the presentation of the
Presidents message.
